The Sundance Film Festival makes its fully in-person return to Park City next month, from January 19 – 23, after two consecutive all-virtual events. This year’s lineup of 101 feature-length films (so far) is packed with buzzy titles, from Susanna Fogel’s “Cat Person,” based on the viral 2017 New Yorker short story about a toxic date; to “Eileen,” the Ottessa Mosghfegh adaptation starring Thomasin McKenzie and Anne Hathaway; and “Infinity Pool,” the latest sleek sci-fi from Brandon Cronenberg and starring Alexander Skarsgård and Mia Goth.

Filmmakers first-time and veteran filmmakers will land in Park City this January, bringing breakout features to the U.S., Documentary, and World Cinema Dramatic competitions, as well as in the Premieres section, among others. On the documentary side, new nonfiction offerings about the lives of Michael J. Fox, Judy Blume, and Little Richard will be presented.
